Rsing North Carolina based singer-songwriter Wesko has released a brand new single celebrating his hometown, titled “Use Some Carolina” out now via Warner Records/underscore works recordings. Watch the accompanying video now below.
Produced by Micah Carpenter [Megan Moroney, Mackenzie Carpenter], a guitar-fueled riff glides over soft percussive bedrock as Wesko admits in his pure and passionate tenor, “No, I can’t tell ‘Miss Perfect,’ there’s a missing piece. You could use some Carolina in your Tennessee.”
Hailing from Kenansville, NC, Wesko has quietly emerged as a country maverick with a knack for true grit. Inspired by everyone from Neil Young and Eric Church to My Chemical Romance and Green Day, he has constructed a raw and real style of his own. No stranger to hard work, he has impressively balanced a full academic schedule at The University of Mount Olive, all the while working an intense full-time job as a foreman for an erosion control company and gaining traction on songs such as “Burning House” and “No Surprise.” He also notably attracted an audience one-fan-at-a-time, gaining momentum locally and magnifying his imprint on social media. Inking a deal with underscore works recordings through Warner Records in 2024, Wesko holds nothing back on his debut Lost Boys EP and latest release, (un)plugged, vol. 2.
